NBC Renews Parenthood for Full Season and Four More Dramas

"On the verge of our 2013 fall scheduling decisions, we're pleased to renew five drama series that will be important to our new season line-up," Jennifer Salke, president of NBC Entertainment, said in a statement. "We're proud and very appreciative of all of the actors, producers, writers and directors who work so hard to deliver such high-quality work week in and week out. These complex shows represent a broad range of genres and tones, and all of them stand out for us in a television landscape now filled with one-hour series. We're especially pleased to be renewing Revolution and Chicago Fire — two first-season successes — and there will be more returning series announcements made in the next couple of weeks."

All five dramas were given 22-episode orders. Parenthood, which is entering its fifth year, will have its first full season since Season 2. Grimm is heading into its third season, while SVU will return for its 15th.
